Hi All,
Another question. I have been getting these what it looks like is a scratch mark on my skin. On my back , shoulders, stomach.

They start out as a red line under the skin, then they actually open to look like a paper cut then they crust and heal and go away.

These have come and gone over time for a couple of years now.

Have any of you experienced this with lymes?

Thanks in advance for any information.
-Mike

Hi,

take a look at this link from the Lyme disease assoc site....it has pictures of rashes...look at bartonella and see if these marks look like yours.

Weird you should mention that--I just had something like that crop up on my shoulder yesterday and today.

I was trying to figure out how the heck I got a paper cut there.

Sounds like what people describe as a bartonella rash. There are pictures on the LDA web site.
